It's a directory defined by the XDG Base Directory Specification[1].

[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

I guess the name is a tip of the hat towards /usr/share, which is for
data that can be shared between different architectures (as opposed to
/usr/lib, which is for architecture-specific data).
